The combination of classical elements does not repeat any conventional European designs of the period and thus speaks of an American origin.

An exaggerated ribbon bow design is featured at the bottom. It retains the original paper label on the back that reads Clausen Art rooms, pictures and frames, Madison Avenue, New York, which was a prestigious purveyor of frames in the late 1800s-early 1900s. less
